Easy to find a car here
They can do short distance but little by little you get to your destination.
There are a truck parking a little bit further, you can ask drivers if there are leaving soon and are agree to take you

Choose this road if you want to pass throught Kulib and go direction to Kalaikhum
Truck and cars take this road who doesn't stop in Kulob

Don't take this road but the one who go South-East of the city. Not many cars, no trucks so I needed to walk (only 30 minutes walk) to join the intersection with the other road

Easy to find a ride for Kulob
This road to go to Pamir it's easier than the northern road (who are open only between May and November)
Lot of trucks take this road to go to Pamir

Hitchhiking here is easy. Just saying 'bez dengi" it means without money on Russian language. Many taxi drivers but still you can flnd nice eople

Very few cars but of they drive far, they will pick you up. Make sure it's for free of course.

After the bridge heading towards Dushanbe. Saw the first car after an hour. Chinese border was closed for a week though so normally you would probably see some trucks. Really bad road, don't expect to get far quickly.

Slovenian overlanders picked me up somewhere here, don't remember exact spot. Anywhere works. Road is bad though so slow progress.

Anywhere on this road should work. No need to walk this far.

This is where few locals were hitchhiking too. Some shade under a tree to wait for cars. Not that much traffic, especially going far. Got very lucky with a Chinese couple going all the way Dushanbe. Still better to take this road to Dushanbe than the northern one.

Walked a bit after the roundabout past the shared taxis. Might take a while to find a free ride as there's many taxis and people asking for money but you will get one eventually. Didn't take me too long to find one to Ayni. Many drive to Khujand.

To Panjakent/border. Not as busy as to north towards Khujand but still decent amount of traffic.

Many cars coming and driving within the city. Quiet some space on the side to stopp for especially trucks. After some minutes I had luck with a truck driver who drove all the way to Dushanbe

Got dropped off by a truck after the big tunnel at the street in the middle of nowhere. Right after getting off the first car stopped and took me all the way to Khujand. Some traffic for sure for everyone going to Pandschakent or Khujand so should work fine in general and I guess especially locals are even more helpful and interested to help anybody standing here

Took the bus number 3 to the final destination. Once you are out, many taxi drivers will appear so go straight. Many people on the side due to that but many cars and truck coming after the roundabout. The second truck stopped and took me until the big tunnel but with with a bit more luck you could get another one not driving to one of the mines in the surroundings

Nobody stops. Ultimately a truck driver from Tajikistan took us 2 exists further. Worthless.

Here is the main exit form Kokand to Khudjand in Tajikistan. Either try dozens of local cars or use bus to Besharyk and further (price from Kokand to border is 0,5 usd)

After crossing into Uzbekistan ignore the armada of taxi drivers and walk a bit further on out of their sight. There's basically no through traffic here except some few trucks coming from Tajikistan (around two trucks/hour).

To Murgab: From Sary Tash town, walk down the towards Tajikistan, the road splits at a police stop. Wait there for cars going left towards the snowy mountains. Alot of trucks from China to Tajikistan no longer go through here and hitchhiking (for free) is incredibly difficult. Even for paid transport to Murgab, waiting times are long.
